    He's another weight bully and funny thing is that Zurdo also dwarfs him too

    Look at these two Mexican beef lovers

    Both these weight bullies will get what's coming to them, probably before they move up and start fighting guys their own size

    As long as they are protected by their promoters and there is a lack of testing, they'll carry on climing into the ring having a huge weight and size advantage over their opponents. It almost makes me want to cheer on Canelo to beat them all of a sudden.

    I think they'll both get beating by the elite LHW's though.

    Canelo doesn't take on all comers. He takes on people with advantages and handicapping methods.

    Even with Bivol, Bivol was a light puncher at LHW and the SMALLEST LHW champion. Did he take on Beterbiev? No, he took on the guy he had the best chance of beating and almost did via corrupt judges. 115-113 while getting dominated.

    Canelo didn't have ''the balls'' to take on prime Golovkin as he literally avoided prime Golovkin multiple times, then aged him twice after the first fight. That's not the same. And people who said he wouldn't do it were right. Fighting Khan at MW instead of Golovkin speaks for itself.

    Canelo even ducked Lemieux, people forget that. Lemieux had an agreement with Golden Boy to fight Canelo and then they dodged Lemieux, who was quite dangerous then.

    Canelo taking on all comers:
    Kahn > at MW
    Chavez Jr > at 168 knowing he couldn't do it properly
    Lemi > dodged
    Golovkin > aged twice, three times if a third fight happens
    Fielding > hydration clause
    Kov > short recovery/camp/hydration clause
    Jacobs > hydration clause
    Saunders > short camp attempt at first, Saunders rejected it so that Smith got the fight
    Plant > short camp attempt the first time, Plant rejected it
    Smith > short camp and a hydration clause attempt Smith rejected
    Beterbiev > Canelo talked up fight, then chose Bivol

    As you can see, over time fighters are starting to reject more of Canelo's cheating terms after seeing the performances from his opponents, but he still has the juice and judges and always will.

    Should round 1 not have been 10-8 since he shellacked him at the end putting him down or did I miss something?

    Good stoppage no need for Lemieux to take further unnecessary punishment. Compassionate referee.

    the referee separated the fighters to stop the fight at the end of the 1st round and then, when the bell rang, he regretted and let the fight continue. LOL. Wtf!! bad referee, good stopage though.

    I've been saying for years that Lemieux doesn't belong at 168lbs, and that puts him in quite a pickle .... He doesn't have the build anymore for 160lbs, he's been struggling for years to make weight, and failed at multiple times too when his Canelo ticket was in reach, but he is far to short and doesn't have big enough reach at 168lbs. Maybe even his power doesn't translate well at the weight. He's too fat for 160, but not skilled enough to surpass his physical shortcomings at 168 lbs like other fighters.

    That's true, they'll be handle carefully being fed smaller guys.

    I agree. But I think they'll get wrecked at by good let alone elite LHWs. They'll be shocked by the power and size advantage.

    Benavidez actually made weight differently for this fight and came in lighter at 166.5lbs and he said he was 185 on the night. He allegedly weighed 195 when he lost his title after coming in 2lbs over the SMW limit but maybe that's not true.

    I agree but while Khan gave Canelo a few problems it will still clear Canelo was a far better fighter than Khan P4P.

    Instead of giving Golovkin the third fight after the second he chose to cherrypick his way through 168. This is despite not deserving a draw let alone a W in the GGG rematch. And he is only about to give him his well deserved rematch 3 ****ing years later. I mean the guys an obvious cherrypicking xoward yet you have imbeciles banging on about him daring to be great. Joke
